Match Commentary

96'

Here's hoping for more drama in tonight's Spain v Ireland clash. After a quick pasta dinner, I'll be on comm there too. Fernando Torres starts for Spain.

96'

Bilic clearly tinkered with his tactics at half time and it paid dividends. Italy looked untroubled until the second half, when Mandzukic and Jelavic pushed a little wider and managed to get on the ball far more. Italy will be unhappy with two points from two and Chiellini has to take the blame for Croatia's goal. It was a brilliant finish though.

96'

FULL TIME - another very good game of football. Italy excellent in the opening half but Croatia took over in the second. A draw much better for Croatia than Italy, who will have to rely on other results going their way should Spain beat Ireland later.
